Hmm, I only managed to get it to 75C or so..

Unfortunately the remote system which was exhibiting the problem has=20
been fixed and the onsite guy doesn't have time to pull it out and=20
break it again :(

The coretemp source suggests that there are 2 max junction temperatures=20
for Core2Duos - 85C & 100C.

However I just realised the "faulty" system has an E2140 in it which has=20
a 65W TDP, whereas the bench system has an E7500 with a TDP of 35W - I=20
guess that could explain the difference.
